Henderson was the top earner by a wide margin at
Strikeforce “Feijao vs. Henderson,” which took place March 5 at
Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The two-time U.S. Olympian in
Greco-Roman wrestling took out Cavalcante 33 seconds into the third
round with his trademark right hand.

The next best-paid athlete was Tim Kennedy,
who pocketed $50,000 for his first-round rear-naked choking of
Melvin
Manhoef ($10,000). Neither Henderson nor Kennedy’s purse
figures include win bonuses; undisclosed “locker room” bonuses
which many promoters disburse are also not taken into account.
